First, the rat went from garage into house . He should have put exclusion barrier from door kitchen into garage. Then we started finding drippings all over the house . Every time a tech would come out they would just check the traps charge a lot If money , then leave. Every new tech siding know what had been done before. The only reason I paid was I didn't want them to mess with my credit rating and didn't have time I take them to small claims court. Next time I'll do it myself . All I needed was a trap in the garage, And exclusion from door between garage and kitchen. If the tech had known what he was doing he would have done that
Description of Work: It was a nightmare . I had a rat in my garage , I had seen droppings. The tech came out and put traps to get rid of rat.

My wife made a purchase of an Angie's List deal on Sunday, September 25, 2016. We waited until Wednesday, September 28 for someone from Corky's to contact us. No one did. I called after work to Corky's and talked to a gentleman in their termite department who made a long distance appointment for the inspection on October 14, 2016. First he said he could get me a 10 am to noon window time, but then said someone might be over at 8 am ! When I inquired about texting messages from Angie's List to Corky's two times, he was totally unaware of it. I asked him to text me back to my Angie's List account, and as of today Thursday, September 29 I do not see any such text. So, we are moving on, canceling the inspection and we are going to try someone else.

scheduling was a nightmare with Corky's twice changing service times without notification. Price charged was more than quoted over the phone. Three different schedulers failed to notify us that we would have to vacate our home for 2 and a half hours after spraying. Technician was excellent and professional but showed up half an hour before scheduled which almost caused us to miss his visit.

I've previously had great experiences with Corky's for termite inspection which makes it very disappointing that our rodent control service went so poorly. The woman who did the exclusion in our attic to keep the mice out was terrific. We were pleased with that part of the service. However, the man (Gary) who came out to locate and fill the bait stations was terrible. The first time he was scheduled to show up, he never showed. Didn't call to say he couldn't make it, just didn't show. After I rescheduled, and he did arrive, I asked him about it and he just looked at my blankly. No apology. The 2nd time he was scheduled to arrive he showed up well before the window he was supposed to arrive in (access to our property is locked so he needed to be scheduled so we could let him in). The 4th week in a row when the bait was to be refilled was a no show again. No one called to cancel. I've called a few times to complain and hear apologies but they seem unable to send someone different out to our property. When I cancelled my service, they said they would send another person, but it ended up being the same guy who left me voicemail asking if he could come 3 hours early and then I never heard anything more from him. He was a no show during the scheduled window when I was again, waiting around for him to show up. I can't understand how this man is still employed by Corky's but at this point I'm convinced they don't care about having happy customers. To date, I've been charged for more refill visits than we've received. Someone from their office was supposed to call us about getting a partial refund but we never heard from them. I've been stood up 3 times and the service person has been fairly rude and unapologetic for being very early a different time. If they try to send Gary King out to service your house, I'd find a different provider for your rodent service.

Thank you for taking the time to post a review of your experience with us. We are pleased to hear that your termite inspection and exclusion work went well. We were surprised to hear that the follow up services did not go as well and apologize for the way you were treated. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and we are seriously looking into what transpired and why. This is not the way we usually treat customers and we are very sorry for your experience. We will be following up with a phone call to discuss the partial refund. Thanks again and we are sorry to lose you as a customer.

A complete disaster. The technicians told me to leave everything unlocked in my home, and that it would be safe. When I returned, I found that someone had cut through the tent, broken in a back door, and ransacked every room of the house. Computers, electronics, cash, and jewelry worth over $10,000 were stolen, and there was about $1200 in property damage. The police department said it looked like an inside job. I can't say whether Corky's employers were the burglars, or tipped off the burglars, but I can say that Corky's was unhelpful and unprofessional, refusing to take any responsibility. Their position (now) is that losing all your valuables is a risk you take any time your home is fumigated. If so, why was this "risk" no disclosed beforehand? AVOID CORKY'S AT ALL COSTS.

We are sorry that your house was vandalized during your fumigation. We appreciate you taking the time to review your experience with us and we realize you are writing the review with emotions that anyone in the same position would probably feel. We would like to clarify some points that you failed to mention. You were given options besides fumigation. Our Terma Track service is a whole house alternative to fumigation that is very popular right now for many reasons. You don't have to leave the house during the treatment, you don't have to bag up food items, you don't risk tile or plant damage and, most importantly, you would eliminate the risk of a break in. It comes with the same 4 year guarantee as a fumigation would. We had you scheduled for this method until you changed and decided to do the fumigation. Fumigations are public knowledge, we have to report to various state agencies, as such this information is accessible on various web sites. We have no control over this requirement or the people viewing this information. Unfortunately there are bad people out there and obviously we have no control over their behavior. I can assure you we would not be in business for almost 50 years if we were not a reputable company. This type of thing doesn't happen often but because it is a possibility we are upfront in informing you of that possibility. We have a signed Occupants notice that outlines all precautions you can take, as a homeowner, to insure this doesn't happen to you. #6 on that checklist states: ..."We request you take with you any valuables you deem necessary, such as jewelry, furs etc." Item #10 on that same checklist states:... "We do not provide on site security during the fumigation procedure or after the tent or seals are removed and as such our insurance does not cover malicious vandalism or theft. If the homeowner or occupant wishes security, same would be at his/her additional expense for such arrangements and is not the liability of the prime contractor or fumigation licensee". It goes on to state...."by signature hereon, the homeowner, agent or occupant agrees that he/she has had this form explained in his native tongue or by their own interpreter. I/we the undersigned have read, reviewed and agree to all provisions contained herein and have acknowledged receipt of an exact copy of this "occupants fumigation notice". In case I/we do not comply with the requirements as stated herein, I/we agree to hold Corky's pest control or Mega fume harmless of any liabilities connected with the fumigation procedure". This document was verbally reviewed with you at the fume prep prior to the fumigation. As we have your signature on this legal document we would assume you read/understood what you signed. We have been in contact with the detective with the Los Angeles police dept assigned to your case, to assist in any way possible, and he assured us that he never suggested that this was an "inside job".

There was a tremendous amount of coordination to pull off this project. The entire staff at Corky's Pest Control was very helpful, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. They took what felt like an overwhelming project and made it seem easy. I would highly recommend them to all my friends and family.
